11), we believe that in cases with greater suspicion, for example, in the presence of diffuse fatty infiltration of the liver, an effort should be made to collect a frozen specimen of liver and a skin biopsy (5).

We can understand more about organ and tissue masses, for example, or fatty infiltrations in individual organs like the liver and pancreas, by focusing on the nature of each body component, rather than by relying on an overall body score.
